Hobbies

Carnatic music

I'm an avid listener of raga music, especially carnatic (South Indian). Whenever I get time, you'll find me musing over old recordings of maestros such as M D Ramanathan and M Balamuralikrishna. Apart from Indian music, I also enjoy listening to prominent western composers like Chopin, Vivaldi and Mozart.

Stargazing

I love to explore the grandeur of the nightsky. I keep searching for places around me with low light pollution. Above are the pictures of saturn and jupiter from my 3 inch scope taken using my phone :)

Philosophy

I'm also passionate about theology and the history of religion. I'm really curious about the greek philosphers from the pre-socratic era, whose philosophies share a lot of common elements with the Indian vedic and upanishadic thought.
